Hate crime investigation in Belltown

Police investigated the case of a woman being egged as a racially motivated hate crime, according to an incident report released Monday.

The woman was walking eastbound on the sidewalk next to her building in the 300 block of Blanchard Street when she was hit by eggs on the head and shoulder.

She then heard someone yell a racial slur.

“The voice came from her building, and she noticed that eggs fell straight down, which would indicate that they were dropped from an unknown window,” Officer Sage Farwell wrote in an incident report. “(The victim) also indicated that the voice that yelled at her was a male voice.”

The woman works at the building and is in charge of enforcing rules. Her job has made many people upset and “she is not very popular in the building,” according to the report.

“She added that she us very upset about the incident but does not fear for her safety,” Farwell wrote.
